So You Think You Want a Civil War? Please.

Most Americans would be crying in their car by Tuesday.

AI’s version of sad America

Let’s test your bullshit detector. Which quote is from the American Civil War?

1. “You have chosen to inaugurate civil war… we will meet it.”

2. “…their policies are leading America into a civil war. And they want it.”

3. “If they won’t leave us in peace, then our choice is fight or die.”

Answers: Number one is from Governor John Letcher of Virginia on April 17, 1861. Number 2 is from Representative Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin on September 10, 2025. Number 3 is from turd-stirrer extraordinaire, Elon Musk, on September 11, 2025.

All are frustratingly stupid and dangerous.

The latest histrionic cries for civil war stem from the recent assassination of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. After the shooting, Republican Utah Governor Spencer Cox immediately labeled Kirk’s death a “political assassination.” Republican congresswoman Nancy Mace echoed those aspersions: “Democrats own what happened today.”

Then Trump did what he does best. He ratcheted up the volume by blaming Kirk’s death on “radical-left political violence.”
